* The mascarpone cheese should be whipped until fluffy. Grate the bitter
chocolate square. In a shallow bowl, mix together coffee, cognac and half
of the amaretto. Dip each Savoyarde biscuit in the coffee mixture and
immediately place in a 3 litre rectangular baking dish (13 x 9 inch) sugar
side up. Reserve leftover espresso mixture. A layer of coffee dipped
biscuits should cover the bottom of dish. Beat egg whites until they hold
peaks; set aside. Beat egg yolks until lemon-coloured. Gradually add sugar
and continue beating until all of the sugar has been incorporated. Add the
mascarpone cheese. Stir in grated chocolate and remainder of the amaretto.
Gently fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Spoon the mixture over the
Savoyarde biscuits. Dip the amaretto biscuits in the espresso mixture and
place them on the cheese mixture. Serve chilled. Serves 14.
